...Indochina will not end this Spring. There is nothing that the American people, or the people of Southeast Asia, can do to stop the war by June. It would be politically immature, or adventurist, to think otherwise. But this should not deter those of us who say we are against the war, nor should we be discouraged by it. It is only the American people who can stop America's aggression against the people and land of Southeast Asia.

...conviction of any rustler; in the past 15 months, the reward has been collected only eight times. To sweeten the pot, county associations now offer additional rewards of up to $1,000. The state department of agriculture has added an investigative branch to aid local lawmen and, to further deter cattle thieves, the legislature has raised the maximum penalty for trespassing to ten years and a $10,000 fine...
